Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for imaging device control in a computer-assisted device that includes a repositionable structure configured to support an imaging device, and a control system coupled to the repositionable structure. The control system is configured to: determine a position of a reference point offset from a display unit, convert the position of the reference point to a target position of another reference point offset from the imaging device, determine a movement command of the first repositionable structure that moves the imaging device such that the another reference point moves toward the target position, and cause actuation of the repositionable structure based on the movement command.
